What is NEBOSH?
NEBOSH stands for National Examination Board in Occupational Health and Safety. NEBOSH qualifications are great for people who want to get started in the health and safety Industry.
What NEBOSH Qualifications are available?
NEBOSH Award – These provide a basic understanding of the fundamental health and safety principles. These awards are great for beginners.
NEBOSH Certificate – These certificates provide learners with an excellent foundation in health and safety. There are no specific entry requirements but are a common choice for managers and supervisors. These are the common areas, but these qualifications are relevant to every workplace and everyone in the health and safety industry.
NEBOSH Diploma – These are popular amongst health and safety advisors and environmental practitioners. They are the highest level of NEBOSH qualification. There are no mandatory qualifications required to take the qualification but it is strongly advised that learners have already completed the NEBOSH General Certificate in occupational health and safety. Although it isn’t mandatory, the Diploma syllabus assumes that learners already have this level of prior learning.
A full list of qualifications can be found on the NEBOSH website

Can I take a NEBOSH qualification online?
Our NEBOSH courses can be taken online using our online eLearning course or our live online virtual classes. Online eLearning courses give you the flexibility to work at your own pace. However, if you are looking for more of a direct approach you can take a Live Virtual Classroom course. This way offers a more traditional learning approach.
How long does it take to get qualified?
This is dependent on the method of learning that you prefer, if you choose the online eLearning option then the learning is much more flexible. You can take a range of NEBOSH courses directly from home and you can spread it out for as long as you want. Online courses will most likely have an average duration but in reality, it is completely up to you.
If you choose a classroom or virtual classroom course then the hours are more likely to be more defined. Courses can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Higher level qualifications such as the NEBOSH diploma will on average take longer than other awards and certificates.
